How to Make Bavarian Inn Peanut Bars

  1. In a 3-quart saucepan, combine 1 cup light corn syrup, 1 cup granulated sugar, and ½ cup packed light brown sugar.
  2. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture reaches a rolling boil.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup creamy peanut butter until completely smooth and well combined.
  4. Stir in 6 cups cornflakes and 1 cup salted peanuts until evenly coated.
  5. Grease a 13x9x2 inch baking pan. Pour the peanut butter mixture into the pan and press firmly and evenly into the bottom.
  6. Melt 1 cup milk chocolate chips according to package directions. Spread evenly over the peanut butter layer.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely set and firm.
  8. Cut into bars and serve.
  9. (Optional) Melt ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon shortening. Drizzle over the cooled bars for an extra decadent touch.
